How you'll be assessed

An AI agent conducts the interview while your screen and camera are recorded. A human specialist then reviews that recording before any decision is made.

    AI interview, recorded

    A voice-based AI agent runs a structured technical interview. Your screen is shared and your camera is on, and the session is recorded — same format and rubric for every candidate.

  3. 03

    Human review

    A specialist reviews the recording of your interview. The AI runs the session; a person is involved in judging it.

How to prepare

  • Treat it like a real technical interview — think out loud. Both the agent and the human reviewer are assessing your reasoning, not just the final answer.
  • Test your mic and camera and use a quiet, presentable room; the session is voice-first and recorded on video.
  • Close anything private before you start — your screen is shared and captured in the recording.
  • Have a couple of concrete project stories ready — specific > general.
